B When assumptions change during the execution phase, it’s crucial to document these changes formally by updating the assumptions log and change log. Implementing the change control process ensures that all changes are reviewed, approved, and managed systematically. This approach helps in assessing the impact on the project’s scope, schedule, and business value, and allows for proper adjustments and communication with stakeholders. D...Reporting to the project sponsor and seeking support is a valid action, but it should follow the formal update and change control process to ensure that all changes are documented and evaluated appropriately. Prioritizing change requests is part of the change control process. So the correct answer is B and D is part of B.

from GPT: In this situation, the project manager should: D. Report on the changed assumptions to the project sponsor and seek support to prioritize the change requests. Here's why: Inform the Sponsor: The sponsor needs to be aware of how the changed assumptions impact the project. Prioritize Changes: The sponsor can help prioritize and address the critical changes needed to align with the revised assumptions and maintain business value. The other options are less effective as they either do not address the need for prioritization (A and B) or might prematurely escalate the situation without a thorough plan (C).

Elle permet de formaliser les changements dans les hypothèses, de documenter les impacts de ces changements, et de suivre un processus de gestion des changements pour évaluer et approuver les ajustements nécessaires au projet. Cela garantit que le projet reste aligné avec ses objectifs et ses contraintes actuelles. D. Rendre compte des hypothèses modifiées au parrain du projet et demander de l’aide pour établir l’ordre de priorité des demandes de changement : Cette option est également importante car le parrain du projet (ou sponsor) doit être informé des changements majeurs et doit participer à la décision concernant la priorité des changements. Toutefois, cela devrait être fait après avoir suivi le processus de gestion des changements.

D. Report on the changed assumptions to the project sponsor and seek support to prioritize the change requests. In a situation where assumptions that underpinned the project scope have changed, it's essential for the project manager to communicate this to the project sponsor. The project sponsor plays a crucial role in understanding and approving changes to the project, especially when assumptions that impact the project's business value have evolved. Updating the assumptions log and change log is part of the change control process, and it helps maintain a transparent record of changes and their impact on the project. However, the key step is to inform the project sponsor and seek support to prioritize and address the changed assumptions. This involves discussing the implications, potential risks, and any adjustments needed in project plans or timelines to accommodate the changes effectively.

During the execution phase, changes need to be managed through established change control procedures. While involving the sponsor to prioritize changes is essential, it's crucial to first document the changed assumptions and associated impacts in logs to present a comprehensive view of the alterations. This information helps in discussing the proposed changes with the sponsor and seeking their support to prioritize and approve the necessary adjustments. Therefore, updating the logs and initiating the change control process (Option B) is a foundational step before engaging the sponsor to prioritize changes.
